Default Tim and Mary are the best!

I just had quite a surprise,

I clicked on the Mcknight website to send the link to someone I met yesterday that plays. When I did I was greeted by a totally new look.

Then, after a couple seconds, I started hearing familiar music.......a song that I wrote for my Dad a few years ago (who just passed away). What an incredible honor and how thoughtful of them (as always)

I showed Mom what happened and we both got a little misty.

There aren't two more wonderful people on the planet.

Hey there old friend Tim and Mary are wonderful folks just wish I had it in me to travel all the way down there to their place just to meet them for the Jam's they hold.
I heard it just a very short time ago when looking over the new site and found it very touching. Take care now and sometimes life just gives us the right memories. ship ( or to you Louis )

Tim and Mary are two people I hope to meet some day. Perhaps that's the day I'll play my first McKnight.

That's an awesome memorial to what I know is a very special song to you.
How cool it had to be to discover that.
Great song as well.

Thanks guys - they had it on their site for several years (along with a couple others of mine), but I didn't expect to have it on the "start up"!

Thanks for the kind words. Our website is still under construction, but we think we are making progress when we aren't in the wood shop.

The wood shop ... Tim is still keeping an eye on Rodger's guitar. Here's proof.
